miDIAGNOSTICS to use emocha platform for mobile health solution

“Adding emocha Mobile Health as a collaborator, we have chosen a top expert in the field of mobile health, connectivity and data management,” said Peter Peumans, vice president and program director of life science technology at imec, in a statement.

imec is the nanoelectrics research and development center collaborating with miDIAGNOSTICS and Johns Hopkins to develop diagnostic tests integrated in silicon chips that will act as miniaturized labs, able to detect cells, proteins, nucleic acids or small molecules from a tiny volume of body fluid. The emocha platform will connect the tests and their results to the laptops, tablets or smartphones of patients and caregivers through a mobile app, creating a mobile health solution for diagnostics at the point-of-need.

The system’s dashboard will offer a customizable view of test results, allowing test and data analysis.
